The "black box" was borrowed by Yin Fang for research.
Considering that the space on the B2 floor was too small, Chu Guang found a slightly more spacious single room on the B1 floor and lent it to him as his laboratory and "surgical operating room".
However, Chu Guang soon discovered that this guy not only stuffed his personal belongings in, but also carried his bed and bedding in.
This posture is that he intends to eat and live on the job.
Regarding this situation, Chu Guang, as a manager, deeply self-examined for a few seconds.
It can be seen that his little player has indeed caused a lot of trouble to Dr. Yin.
However, even so, Chu Guang still feels that Yin Fang's behavior is indeed a bit redundant.
After all, as long as he still plans to go to Area A on the second underground floor to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, it is almost inevitable to run into players who are interested in him.
"Why bother?"
Avoiding those energetic players too much will make them more likely to be targeted. Chu Guang is very experienced in this matter.
I hope Dr. Yin can adapt to his new life as soon as possible.
Chu Guang silently blessed in his heart, and seeing that it was getting late, he got up and went to the market at the north gate of the outpost.
As the new players of Alpha 0.8 gradually mastered the gameplay, many interesting stalls have opened in the market recently.
For example, a ramen stall and a fried rice stall.
The former is run by a player who uses his real name as his ID. It is said that the meat is cut thinner than paper and the noodles are as thin as data cables, which is quite authentic.
The latter is not a newcomer. It is said that he is the apprentice of [Tomato Scrambled Eggs]. His ID is [Sour and Spicy Potato Shreds], which is also a name that sounds quite appetizing.
However, due to the shortage of supplies in the outpost, there are no eggs and no Lao Gan Ma. Even if this guy is very hard at frying, it always feels a little soulless when eating. Chu Guang tried it once and never tried it again.
Seeing Chu Guang sitting down in front of his stall, Zhang Hai was so surprised that he almost cut his finger.
"Mr. Manager, what would you like?"
NPC!
And he's still a manager!
Is it going to trigger a hidden mission? !
Chu Guang had long been accustomed to the newcomers' fuss and didn't take it seriously at all.
He found a wooden table and sat down, and said.
"A bowl of meat."
"Okay!!!"
After a while, the ramen was served on the table.
White mist rose, and the aroma of noodles mixed with the aroma of meat made people's mouths water. Especially the meat in the bowl, it almost covered the noodles, it seemed different from the rumors?
Chu Guang was just about to take a bite when he heard the shouting next to him.
"Damn! It's a rip-off, why do I only get so little meat?"
"That's right! This is too little!"
"I seriously suspect that this bastard has moved all the meat in our bowls to the manager's bowl!"
Seeing the guests complaining, Zhang Hai was not panicked at all, and he didn't even put on an act, licking with confidence.
"What are you arguing about? You are also an NPC? Can you give me a hidden task? Can you let me rush from T5 to T0?"
Players: "%￥#@!"
"..."
In order to prevent the players from transferring the conflict to himself, Chu Guang decided to pretend that he didn't hear it and concentrate on eating his noodles.
Since the end of the month, the weather has been getting colder day by day.
However, the market at the north gate is getting more and more lively day by day.
Everything is getting better slowly.
The only flaw is that Yaya's mushroom stall seems to be closed. Chu Guang hasn't seen her open for business for several days.
What a pity.
Chu Guang quite likes the mushroom soup made by the little player.
I hope this damn winter will end soon!
…
After dinner.
Chu Guang returned to the shelter and washed his face first, then exchanged the 200 reward points he got from completing the side quest for two high-level blind boxes.
Perhaps because of washing his face, the rewards from the blind box did not disappoint him unexpectedly.
In addition to an EMP grenade, he actually drew a set of Type 5 "Light Cavalry" light police exoskeleton!
"Fuck! It turns out that washing your face is really useful?!" Looking at the equipment lying on the conveyor belt, Chu Guang had a surprised expression on his face.
To be honest, before opening these two blind boxes, he was a little pessimistic.
After all, he had just opened the second Hummingbird drone not long ago. From a metaphysical point of view, it would be reasonable for him to be unhappy a few times.
However, the system didn't play by the rules and threw him an SSR directly.
Chu Guang thought that it must be because he usually likes to do good things.
This person's luck is simply amazing!
After recovering this exoskeleton from the conveyor belt, Chu Guang originally planned to sell it in Boss Xia's weapon shop.
However, after thinking for a few seconds, he gave up the idea.
The reason is simple.
So far, except for the one given away by lottery, none of the nine pieces of "Miner I" exoskeleton hanging in the store have been sold.
Not only because of the purchase threshold of "Contribution Level Citizen, Player Level LV10", but also because of the price of the equipment itself.
2000 silver coins.
There are only a handful of players in the server who can come up with so much money.
As a police equipment in the pre-war society, the Type 5 "Light Cavalry" exoskeleton is obviously better than the enterprise-designed Miner I in all aspects, not to mention that it also comes with composite bulletproof armor. The price can't be lower than the latter, right?
Take it to the East Coast Enterprise, and this pre-war equipment can be exchanged for 5 sets of "Miner Type I" at least!
"We can discuss how many silver coins to sell it for. Miner Type I is a level 10 equipment, and good things like Type 5... must be at least level 15 or 20."
"The secondary equipment has not been sold yet, and there is no point in putting the higher-level equipment on the shelf now, except for gathering dust there."
In this case, it is better to take it to the guard team and give it to the NPCs who need to go out first.
Without destroying the balance of "Wasteland OL", this is also the best way Chu Guang can think of to make the equipment play its due value.
Seeing that there are only a few reward points left, Chu Guang threw them all on the primary blind box.
However, the previous burst of luck seemed to have used up all the good luck. This time, no good things came out, and all that came out were lollipops.
And they were all the kind without attribute bonuses.
However, Chu Guang didn't care.
People should not be too greedy.
A set of exoskeleton is already a huge profit!
The blind box is finished.
As the players were offline, Chu Guang planned to go to the forum for a while, but as soon as he sat down in front of the computer, a line of light blue pop-up windows appeared in front of him.
[System: The player "Baijuguoxi" gene sequence development progress has reached 10%. ]
Huh?
"There are players who have reached level 10?"
Chu Guang was surprised and immediately opened the player list and saw Lao Bai's number at a glance.
"Xiaoqi, help me retrieve the player's attribute panel!"
The speaker on the wall responded immediately.
"Received, master!"
Soon, a table appeared on the computer screen on the desk.
[
ID: Baijuguoxi
Gene sequence: Strength system (second stage)
Level: LV.9→LV10
——Basic attributes——
Strength: 12→17
Agility: 6→7
Constitution: 6→7
Perception: 6→7
Intelligence: 4→5
]
[
Talent:
Limit breakthrough (strength system): Break through the limit of the body within 0.5~3 seconds, gain 150%~200% strength attribute bonus, fatigue accumulation speed 200%~400%, cooling time 30s~1min.
]
Staring at the attribute panel, Chu Guang touched his chin with interest.
"Strength system awakening, the main attribute increases by 5 points, and the other attributes increase by 1 point... This panel data is good."
Especially the 17 points of strength, they are the same as mine!
And there is also the "Boundary Breakthrough", which can obtain a maximum strength bonus of 200% in a short period of time, turning 17 points of strength into 34 in seconds?
Although the lack of durability is a problem, for melee players, victory or defeat is just a matter of a moment.
Being able to gain the power of a mutant in a short period of time with a human body is already very terrifying!
Chu Guang has no doubt that his little players can play this skill to the fullest.
"Awakening takes 6 to 8 hours, and the clone cannot be awakened during this period... It seems that my speculation is correct, and the upgrade is done while sleeping."
Maybe it's because the body grows while sleeping?
Chu Guang noticed that the incubator can speed up this process to a certain extent.
In addition, the active substance required for the awakened clone to revive has changed from 1 unit to 2 units. As for the CD, there is no change, it is still 72 hours.
After Chu Guang sorted out the information collected from Lao Bai, he selectively updated it in the official website database.
I hope this information can provide some reference for his players.
...
Ten o'clock in the evening.
After cleaning up the new room, Yin Fang came to the administrator's office again and found Chu Guang.
"Can you give me a few more VMs? Twenty is enough."
Hearing this strange request, Chu Guang was slightly stunned and looked at Yin Fang.
"What do you want so many VMs for?"
Although the VM reserve on the B2 floor is nearly a thousand, there are now a total of five hundred players, and each player has less than two.
Even if the natural loss caused by unexpected situations is not considered, NPCs also need to use VMs to issue tasks and communicate with players.
Although Chu Guang has not encountered a shortage of VMs for the time being, the reserve of this thing is far from being rich enough to be squandered at will.
"Although I also want a professional work computer, you obviously don't have it here," Yin Fang continued, glancing at the retro-styled "suitcase-type" computer on the desk, "Although the processor computing power of the VM is a bit weak, it can be used after some modification. If twenty pieces are connected in series, it can barely meet my work needs."
Chu Guang shook his head and said.
"Twenty VMs are too many! If you need computing power, the server in the shelter has sufficient computing power. I can give you some. What do you think?"
Yin Fang's eyes lit up and he said.
"That would be the best! But even so, I still need a few VMs to serve as screens and operation interfaces--"
"Three," Chu Guang stretched out three fingers, "Is that enough?"
Looking at these three fingers, Yin Fang scratched the back of his head with a headache.
"I'm not sure... To be honest, this is also the first time I've tried to DIY a temporary workstation like this. In the academy, all personnel above level D have their own independent laboratories, where they can modify equipment and analyze samples--"
"I'm really sorry, the conditions here are like this, and I can only trouble you to overcome them." After a slight cough, Chu Guang looked at him seriously and continued, "However, I promise you that I will let my people pay more attention when scavenging. If I find any usable electronic equipment, I will definitely send it to you as soon as possible. As for VM... This is all I can give you for now, and tell me if it's not enough."
"After all, it's the early stage of entrepreneurship, right?" Yin Fang made a helpless expression and shrugged his shoulders to show that he had no opinion.
He knew the difficulties of Shelter No. 404.
It was so clean here that it looked like it had been robbed. He had never seen such a poor three-digit shelter. Not to mention the most basic facilities such as a health station, there was not even an automatic kitchen, and food had to be brought in from outside!
It's really hard for the residents here. They are all role models, and their optimism is not human.
If they were in another shelter, the fact that the managers forced them to eat mutant food would be enough to make them rise up.
With three VMs from Chu Guang, Yin Fang was about to walk out the door, but at this moment, Chu Guang suddenly remembered something and called him.
"By the way."
Stopping at the door, Yin Fang turned around and asked.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Guang continued.
"If I want to refuel the reactor in the shelter, where should I find fuel rods?"
Hearing this unexpected statement, Yin Fang was stunned at first, and then he was shocked when he came to his senses.
"What do you mean, your shelter is out of fuel?!"
Chu Guang coughed and said.
"It's not my shelter, it's one I picked up recently."
However, Chu Guang himself had no idea how much energy Shelter No. 404 could use.
So far, he has not unlocked the floor where the reactor is located. Even if he wants to refuel the shelter, there is no place to do so. He can only hope that the current energy consumption rate of the shelter is still within the expectations of the first-generation managers.
If the power is cut off and GAME OVER, that would be too much!
After hearing Chu Guang's explanation, Yin Fang breathed a sigh of relief and continued after a pause.
"The fuel rods for the shelter are not easy to find. After all, the original intention of the shelter plan did not consider letting the survivors stay underground all the time. Some shelters will even gradually shut down the life support system after opening, or adjust the full cycle to half cycle to urge the residents of the shelter to return to the surface and invest in reconstruction."
Chu Guang frowned and said.
"So there's no other way?"
"Not really," Yin Fang shook his head. "As far as I know, the organization that designed the reactor for the Zhongzhou area shelter is Zhongzhou Aerospace, and the specifications of the reactor are the same model as the Gonggong series space station and the N series spacecraft."
Chu Guang couldn't help but say.
"I can't go to the sky to find this thing."
Yin Fang nodded and said.
"Yes, it is indeed unrealistic to go to the sky to recycle fuel rods. The situation there is not much better than on the ground, and may even be worse. However, although we can't go to outer space, we can find some stocks that have not been sent to outer space. In addition, some research institutions related to Zhongzhou Aerospace should also be able to find this kind of fuel rods... I heard that their backup generators are of similar models."
Chu Guang stared at him with a sharp gaze.
"Do you have any good plans?"
Yin Fang hesitated and said.
"I can't guarantee it, but we can give it a try... If we can get the production data and product numbers of Zhongzhou Aerospace or its factories, we should be able to locate some usable fuel rods."
If I remember correctly, there should be such facilities in the southern part of the Valley Province.
And there should be some electronic equipment that can be used there, which is exactly what Yin Fang urgently needs now.
After hearing this, Chu Guang stood up from his office chair with a bang, walked to him with joy, and put his hands on his shoulders.
"Leave it to you!"
Facing this eager look, Yin Fang was stunned and said without much confidence.
"I can only say that I will try my best..."
It is now the 211th year of the Wasteland Era. Before that, there was a three-year war. In these long two centuries, anything could happen.
Even the sanatorium on the surface of No. 404 has been visited by scavengers more than once - but no one has discovered that there is a shelter hidden under the seemingly broken elevator.
If we can get the fuel rods, not only can the related tasks of Shelter No. 117 be completed, but the potential energy crisis of Shelter No. 404 can also be solved.
It's like killing two birds with one stone!
Chu Guang, who was in a good mood, waved his hand and immediately allocated a "huge sum" of 10,000 silver coins to the project of recycling fuel rods.
Finding fuel rods that can match the reactor of the shelter will become the first task of the scientific expedition team of Shelter No. 404.
As the leader of the scientific expedition team, Yin Fang can use this budget to recruit players to explore the target or issue a public bounty.
However, Chu Guang also warned him that it is best not to spend the money all at once, and sometimes giving too much may not be a good thing.
The specific use of the budget and the setting of the benchmark value of the task rewards at each level have been detailed in the "Shelter Resident Handbook (NPC Edition)".
This is a compulsory course for every NPC in Shelter No. 404.
If you have any questions about any of the clauses, you can click the question mark icon on the manual page of VM to ask the administrator assistant "Xiao Qi". Xiao Qi, who is online 24 hours a day, will answer every question.
However, just like when Boss Xia first came here, Dr. Yin did not feel anything about silver coins. Instead, he took this opportunity to complain.
"You are still using metal currency? Don't you think it's troublesome?"
Chu Guang said disapprovingly.
"Metal currency has its advantages. The sound of coins colliding can make people work harder, and visible and tangible coins are more likely to be recognized by strangers... However, I have also been considering changing to a more convenient currency recently. Go and do your own thing. You don't need to worry about this problem. I will find a way to solve it."
After Dr. Yin left.
Chu Guang, sitting in front of the computer, switched back to the identity of a planner and logged into the backend page of the official website of "Wasteland OL".
Before opening Shelter 117, Chu Guang only recovered the power armor, Dr. Principle's briefcase, and the administrator's VM. There were still many areas that he hadn't explored carefully.
Currently, there are two tasks left in his task bar.
One is to refuel the reactor in Shelter 117. After completing it, you can obtain the administrator privileges of Shelter 117.
The other is a task triggered by Dr. Principle's videotape.
That is, carry the VM to explore all areas of Shelter 117. After completing it, you can unlock the B3 floor of Shelter 404!
Chu Guang has entrusted the task of finding fuel rods to Yin Fang.
As for the latter task, the current exploration progress is 21%. Chu Guang plans to leave the rest to his little players.
The alien species at the entrance of the shelter has been solved. The job of exploring the map itself is not difficult. It's just the right opportunity to give benefits to his players.
He already has an idea in mind.
Chu Guang smiled, put his hands on the keyboard, and began to assign homework for his little players "tomorrow"-
[Announcement: Player "White Horse Passing by" has been upgraded to level 10, becoming the first power player to reach 10% of the gene sequence development progress! ]
[Announcement: The new version is coming soon, and the unlimited time event "Our Neighbors" will start on time at 19:00 tonight! ]
[Event content: Bring VM to visit Shelter No. 117, check in all scenes, and reach 100% exploration progress to get a mysterious gift! ]
[Note: The event is not limited in time, and you can receive it if you hold VM. To avoid traffic congestion, please travel during off-peak hours! ]
